This high-energy hip-hop track explores the theme of missed opportunities in life, from unasked love to lost friendships. With heavy bass and a fast-paced beat, 'If Only' delivers powerful verses and an addictive rhythm that pumps you up while reflecting on the what-ifs that linger in our minds. The confidence of Mr. Millions shines through as the lyrics recount those pivotal moments that shaped life's path.
Mr. MM$, count it up!
(Chorus)
If only I could turn back time,
Grab a hold of every chance, make it mine.
Lost in thought, yeah I reminisce,
Every moment missed, man it feels like bliss.
(Verse 1)
Remember back in high school halls, yeah, I was shy,
Heart beating fast, but I let it pass by.
Told her, 'maybe next time,' as I walked away,
Now I’m thinking, bro, what’s the price I gotta pay?
Late night calls with my old crew,
We had dreams, man, we had a few.
Now I’m out here grinding, chasing stacks,
But I miss those days, all the laughter and the snacks.
(Chorus)
If only I could turn back time,
Grab a hold of every chance, make it mine.
Lost in thought, yeah I reminisce,
Every moment missed, man it feels like bliss.
(Verse 2)
Driving through the city, I see those spots,
Where we used to chill, yeah, connecting the dots.
Every late-night drive with the music bumpin’,
Now I’m all alone, hear my heart thumpin’.
Gotta take a risk, shoot my shot like a sniper,
But hesitation’s deadly, it cuts like a viper.
There’s a girl I liked, but I never made a move,
Now I wonder if it’s too late, can I groove?
(Chorus)
If only I could turn back time,
Grab a hold of every chance, make it mine.
Lost in thought, yeah I reminisce,
Every moment missed, man it feels like bliss.
(Bridge)
Yeah, I was young and foolish, thought I had it planned,
But aspiration fell, like castles in the sand.
Now I hustle harder, ‘cause I know what’s at stake,
Got dreams to fulfill, no more room for mistakes.
(Verse 3)
Now I’m in the booth, letting go of my youth,
Every line I spit is the absolute truth.
If only moments were coins, I’d cash ‘em in,
Riding with the tide, yeah, let the journey begin.
(Chorus)
If only I could turn back time,
Grab a hold of every chance, make it mine.
Lost in thought, yeah I reminisce,
Every moment missed, man it feels like bliss.
(Outro)
If only, if only, but I gotta move on,
Chasing dreams so big, can’t dwell on what’s gone.
Every ‘what if’ just fuels my fire,
I’m living for today, let the past retire.

Beat not available
this is an explicit song called "If Only". The genre is hip hop, rap, heavy bass, fast, and pump up. It is about al my missed opportunities in life whether that be asking a girl out, hanging out with old friends, and many other things. It should include my producer tag at the beginning, along with some intro lyrics to the song. Maybe it can be said before the beat drop? It should be something like "Mr. MM$, count it up!" (pronounced mister millions).
Why It Works: It's short, confident, and has a nice flow to it. "Count it up" ties into the theme of making money and success, which suits the "Mr. Millions" persona. It also has a rhythmic quality that can be easily synced with beat drops or transitions.
Suggested Voice & Style: A deep, confident male voice or a sultry female voice. Add a bit of echo or a subtle delay effect to make it stand out without overdoing it.
